The MMA, in partnership with the AMA and Providers Clinical Support System (PCSS), are hosting a webinar on Tuesday, July 12 from noon to 1 pm that will provide an overview of a physician toolkit designed to reverse the overdose epidemic.
Fatal and non-fatal drug overdoses are an ongoing and worsening national epidemic. CDC data shows 107,000 drug overdose deaths nationally for 2021.
In Minnesota, drug overdose deaths and non-fatal overdoses have spiked significantly since 2019. The physician toolkit, created by MMA, AMA and PCSS, gives Minnesota physicians resources, information and tools to help treat patients dealing with substance use and substance abuse disorders, and provides opportunities to learn about better care for pain.
“Taking Responsibility in Minnesota: Reversing the Overdose Epidemic" will feature Charlie Reznikoff, MD, FACP, FASAM, an internal medicine and addiction medicine physician at Hennepin Healthcare and Jennifer D. Byrne, LCSW, CADC, a behavioral health program manager at the AMA.
